Using rapid-fire high-velocity railguns for "crowd control" probably violates a few war crime laws. Reworded.

| Nov 16, 2016 at 22:36 | comment | added | Marky | @ohwilleke Gatling gun barrels are actually super aligned with each-other, and the weapon systems themselves are extremely accurate, especially under continuous fire. Often time gunners will "walk" their fire to their target once they see where the bullets are actually going; it functions a lot like a hose or how one would imagine a continuous laser weapon would. Its easier to get on target if you have the constant feed back of hits rather then "-pop did I hit? pop did I hit? pop-". Its more "BRRRRRRRR-ah, to the left a bit-RRRRRRTTTTT". But I agree on the "humane" part | |

It would be better if each barrel pointed a different direction, I don't see much benefit to having multiple barrels pointed in the same direction unless there is an overheating problem to avert. | |
